Enhancements to service-oriented architecture (SOA) to provide chargeback
support and integration with Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to extend completeness
as an enterprise platform for deploying repository-spanning applications and
workflows

Repository event integration to enhance bidirectional access to content
and workflow, as well as the underlying functionality

Updates for over 13 prebuilt connectors to the leading content management
and workflow systems

IBM Content
Integrator introduced basic service-oriented architecture (SOA) capabilities
in V8.5, which were extended in V8.5.1 to include support for Create, Update,
and Delete functions. IBM Content Integrator V8.6 introduces new capabilities
for SOA security, chargeback, and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). This further
extends SOA functions, such as availability of high level services, as well
as enhanced SOA security and the ability to offer chargeback for use of services.
These enhancements provide you with more options for how you use IBM Content Integrator
to take advantage of the benefits of SOA, including easier access to content,
advanced security management, and the ability, via chargeback, to offer content
access as a for profit service.

IBM Content
Integrator V8.6 offers a number of consumability enhancements, including upgrade
of installer technology, logging, simplification of administration and connector
configuration, as well as currency with the latest IBM ECM repository and Content Federation
Services (CFS) releases. These also include updates to the IBM FileNet Content
Manager connector API, CFS connector, and Microsoft NTFS connector.

IBM Content
Integrator V8.6 provides a number of enhancements to the offering's existing
capabilities to help you gain access to trusted content in disparate repositories
for better, faster decisions whether for faster customer service, information
lifecycle governance, advanced case management, and other solutions that require
federated access to such content. If you are faced with content silos in multiple
repositories, you can take any or all of three approaches:

Use IBM Content
Integrator (to provide what may be called a "content integration" solution),
where all repositories can be accessed, resulting in bidirectional, real-time
access to the content in each repository.

Use IBM Content
Integrator with content federation services in IBM FileNet Content Manager to create a
master catalog in P8, so that P8 applications, such as records management
and business process management, can access the metadata from third-party
repositories from within P8 as if it were native P8 content.

Choose an information access strategy driven by your unique requirements.
Take advantage of having the option to use a content integration or a content
federation strategy as a temporary or permanent option you can control if
and when you will expose yourselves to the risks and expenses associated with
content migrations.

Specified operating environment

Hardware requirements

The exact hardware configuration to support a specific environment with
satisfactory performance varies, depending on the distribution of the software
components, the number of documents to be accessed, the types of systems being
accessed, the application requirements, server workload, the number of users,
and other factors.

When running on Windows® or Linux® in a 32-bit Intel® environment,
an Intel Pentium® or
AMD Athlon CPU is required.

When running in a Solaris environment, an UltraSparc CPU is required.

Memory requirement

The following table shows the minimum recommended memory for installation
in megabytes (MB). The actual requirement depends on the applications you
intend to run. Additional memory may be required to handle heavy workloads
and large numbers of users. The numbers below are for reference only.

The amount of memory required for the IBM Content Integrator API depends on the
operating system, the J2EE application server's client run time, and the applications
that are running. In most cases, it should be sufficient to use the minimum
memory requirements of the operating system as the minimum requirement for
running the IBM Content
Integrator API clients. Graphical tools that are part of the administration
tool will require an additional 128 MB.

Disk space requirement

The following table shows the minimum recommended disk space for installation
in megabytes (MB). The actual requirement depends on the applications you
intend to run. Additional disk space may be required to handle heavy workloads
and large numbers of users. The numbers below are for reference only.

The memory requirements given for IBM Content Integrator include the memory
that is typically required for a hosting J2EE application server. Refer to
the documentation of the J2EE application server for detailed memory requirements.
In addition, the installation process for IBM Content Integrator requires 128 MB of
memory.

The disk space required for IBM Content Integrator depends on the components
selected. The disk space requirements given for IBM Content Integrator do not include the
disk space that is required for a hosting J2EE application server. Refer to
the documentation of the J2EE application server for detailed disk space requirements.
The API and administrative tools for IBM Content Integrator cannot be installed
separately. Therefore, they require the same disk space as IBM Content Integrator.

The program's specifications and specified operating environment information
may be found in documentation accompanying the program, if available, such
as a readme file, or other information published by IBM, such as an announcement letter. Documentation
and other program content may be supplied only in the English language.
